See PH I am so glad that you sent the BD card. Now look at how your h responded.
You did good, just let your h do most of the talking. No complaining just supportive, appreciative, respectful, and admiration.
My h just called. He said hi what are you doing. We talked, he is so excited about his job. I just listened attentively and gave him the you are doing so great, that's wonderful h.
I asked if he got my e-mail today, he said he doesn't have his power cord and is only checking on a limited basis.
God is amazing. Here is another time for me that he is helping h and I. I have been worried the past 6 months about our home loan increasing and have been praying and praying. I had pulled out the original paperwork and it was suppose to jump up astronomical in Oct. I tried refinancing with no luck due to credit issues. Well the paperwork arrived today and it is going to increase less than $100 per month.
I was jumping up and down praising God. He is really amazing. Not sure how this all worked out for h and I with the loan, but we will take it for now. Praise God!
I was getting so worried thinking we would have to move to an apartment, but we are good for now.
Now I am going to get a dog soon, since we are staying in our home. You don't know how this huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. Now all that h provides from his new job can just go to savings. I have been able to pay for everything by myself while h has been gone.
glam, Thanks for the nice words about my H's call. I do praise God for the call. I do wish there are more chances to interact with my H. I keep praying.
It's nice that your H called. See - he called even though he hadn't read your email. He was thinking of you. It's wonderful that he's so happy about having the job.
And it's awesome that God took care of your mortgage payment increase. Does your H also want a dog? What kind are you thinking of getting?
I'm so glad your H responded to you sending him that card & it seemed like it was in a positive way.
Yes, God is so good & we just have to keep looking to Him!
(((HUGS))))
Hi nlt, Thanks for being glad for me. Yes, God is good. I like today's Charlyne Cares (Aug 28), which talks about God being able to chnage our H's heart of stone to a heart of flesh!! The newsletters have really been speaking to me lately.
Hi MMF, Thanks for dropping by. Nice to hear from you. I am doing fine. Plodding along in my stand, and really working on praying and knowing God more closely. Hope you are doing well too.

PH my h doesn't care for dogs. He keeps saying he didn't want me to get our first dog, but he was actually my boyfriend at the time and payed for half the dog.
I was thinking of getting 3 dogs, but this really needs to be decided by h.
He is of the thinking that the MAN makes all the decisions around here. So I really try to go to h about everything first, even for something as small as the blowdryer today I asked where I should shop and he said I will go with you.
Otherwise in h's mind I am making all the decisions. PH I have learned so much in all of this mess.

Three dogs??? We've got two and they really are not bad, just need constant attention, esp. the sheltie. She bugs H so much though. When he comes over, she demands his full attention and whines to him if he does not sit there and pet her. He goes berserk. The sheltie does not act this way with the rest of us, just H.
Our other dog is part spaniel and part border collie. He is like a little old man who just lays around all day.

It does feel that way sometimes, doesn't it (plodding along)? The one thing I have learned about life in general is that a lot of the things that are happening are usually while we just do what we are supposed to day after day. I imagine it is the same thing with standing for your marriage and DBing.
I know what you mean about working on praying and knowing God more closely. I remind myself that this is probably something that is a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, would I have searched for a real relationship with Him? I don't know.
And thanks, I am doing well. I feel very blessed with those in my life and I sometimes see my W connecting with me by sharing personal stuff about her life, her hopes, dreams, frustrations, etc. It may mean something, it may not. Who knows? I know He does!
Ciao for now!

I may get to see my W Saturday afternoon sometime to give a couple things she needs and her ring back to her. Since we don't see each other and have very little to no communication I have thought about mentioning if we could talk at least once a week even if it were for 5 to 10 minutes. I not really sure what to do right now. I have been praying for lots of things and communication is one of them. I wished I had more of an idea on what to do when I see her. I wouldn't mind some suggestions.
